We reported earlier this year that in a new documentary about the late Sir Jimmy Savile, several women came forward to claim that the DJ and TV presenter was a paedophile who abused them when they were children.

And it’s now been revealed that further claims of that nature are set to be made in the film which is entitled, Exposure: The Other Side of Jimmy Savile. It’s set to air on Wednesday at 11.10pm on ITV1.

In the documentary, one woman alleges that Sir Jimmy told her he was her “keeper” and that there was “no escape” from his abuse of her.

Other allegations suggest that Sir Jimmy systematically groomed young girls for sex during the height of his fame, and that he told one victim that he wouldn’t rape her, but did.

One woman claims he “begged” her to perform a perverted sex act on him, while another says he always wore his trademark shell suits because they easy to remove as he assaulted his victims.

The Daily Star adds, “It is also claimed Sir Jimmy brazenly used BBC premises, where he worked on shows including Top Of The Pops and Jim’ll Fix It, to commit some of the alleged attacks.” Read more & comment »

Given that on April 15th it will be exactly one hundred years to the day since the Titanic sank on her maiden voyage, there is of course a good deal of media coverage about the tragedy, including Julian Fellowes’ mini-series Titanic, which debuted last night.

In addition, there have been – and will be more – documentaries on various channels which proffer several theories on why the ship sank.

But today, in the Sun, it’s been reported that a new book entitled, Who Sank The Titanic? The Final Verdict, has pointed the finger of blame at Winston Churchill.

In the book, which will be published by Pen & Sword Books and will be released next month at an RRP of £19.99, its author Robert Strange claims that Churchill had a previously unrecognised, “inglorious role” in the 1912 tragedy.

Strange writes, “Churchill was fatally distracted from his vitally important safety duties by a combination of burning political ambition, wounded pride and the pursuit of his future wife Clementine… Read more & comment »
